Chapter 125: Accepting Disciples?

  The iron ship's lowest level, Shi Yan's expression was solemn, on that iron-wood structure's deck, he knocked and pounded.

  Xia Xinyan stood beside him, speechless, silently watching his movements.

  "The iron ship is very sturdy, but it can't hold me back. I just need to use all my strength and I can blast open the hull." Shi Yan struck for a while, then relaxed his expression and smiled: "We'll just guard here, if there really are experts coming after us later, I'll directly chisel out a big hole and take you with me to jump into the sea and escape."

  Xia Xinyan nodded slightly, "Then Li Wei won't give up easily, he should be bringing people over soon."

  "Xin Yan, your charm is truly astonishing. Even with a changed appearance like this, you can still attract bees and butterflies. Tsk, tsk." Shi Yan shook his head in admiration. "If your looks were to return to normal, the men on this iron ship would surely go crazy. It seems that we cannot stay here for long, it's best to leave as soon as possible."

  "You're just attracting bees and butterflies, but it's true that a dog can't spit out ivory." Xia Xinyan rolled her eyes, but didn't really get angry, and instead felt a little pleased with herself.

  Although Shi Yan's words were unpleasant to hear, they actually praised her beauty. In the past, she might have been disdainful of him, but now she felt somewhat pleased. Looking at Shi Yan again, she didn't find him too annoying anymore.

  At that moment, Shi Yan blocked the door, with one person resisting four Ba Jie martial artists, leaving a heavy mark in her mind, as if also stirring up some ripples in her heart...

  "I saw you in action for the first time today, and I didn't expect that your skills are actually not bad." Xia Xinyan hesitated for a moment, her bright eyes filled with curiosity, "I heard that before the age of seventeen, you hadn't practiced martial arts, yet you reached the state of Innate in just one night, is that true?"

  "Hmm, just a coincidence." Shi Yan responded calmly, not wanting to delve deeper into the topic, and smiled: "It's not that I'm great, it's just that Li Wei and those four are too ordinary. They don't have a martial soul, and their internal energy isn't thick enough either. They shouldn't be comparable to Hundred-Bane warriors of the same realm."

  "You've observed very carefully." Xia Xinyan nodded and said, "In the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, many disciples are infatuated with romantic relationships and do not diligently cultivate. The various dual cultivation martial skills of the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven are also a double-edged sword, while allowing these disciples to strengthen their essence through dual cultivation, they also corrupt their willpower. Many originally talented disciples, because they were too indulgent in romantic relationships, slowly sank, until they no longer sought progress and found it difficult to break through."

  "It's true that the disciples here, most of them don't have pure enough essence. Li Wei, although he has the cultivation of a hundred calamities and two heavy skies, still can't compare to the purity of essence of an ordinary hundred calamities and one heavy sky warrior. As for me, he certainly won't get any benefits, let alone that he doesn't even have a martial soul."

  "Li Wei may have been a bit off, but you're way too overpowered." Xia Xinyan's eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said calmly: "Even when I was in the Hundred Calamities Rebirth Heaven, I wouldn't have been able to take down Li Wei that easily, unless I used my reincarnation martial soul, but that would be cheating."

  Shi Yan and Xia Xinyan are both very bold, after hurting Li Wei, they still dare to chat and laugh on someone else's turf, as if they don't know how to write the word "death".

  The two of them chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, three hours had passed.

  Unexpectedly, Li Wei didn't come again, but instead it was Xiaofeng who brought the food and water ahead of time.

  After Xiaofeng arrived, her eyes brightened, she put down food and water, and looked at the stone rock with a hint of curiosity.

  Shi Yan didn't waste any words and opened the food box. Suddenly, he laughed: "Xiao Feng, what's going on today? This meal is quite sumptuous!"

  Inside the basket, there were no longer salted fish and rice balls, but rather braised beef and fragrant roasted chicken, along with a small jug of wine, and an additional large jar of plain water.

  This time's food is a notch higher than before, which makes Shi Yan somewhat perplexed.

  "Was it you who hurt Li Wei?" Little Feng asked curiously.

  "Not bad." Shi Yan was taken aback, looking at Xiao Feng who seemed slightly excited, "What? Is Li Wei your rival?"

  "I'd kill him if I could" Xiaofeng gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment. "I have three sisters, all of whom were tormented to death by Li Wei. If I had the ability, I would have killed him long ago."

  "I'd like to help you, but Li Wei seems to be the nephew of that yellow-faced man. If I hurt him, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay on your ship either." Shi Yan tore open a chicken leg and took a big bite, then gulped down a mouthful of wine, and casually handed a large piece of cooked beef to Xia Xinyan, "Wife, eat more, you'll have the energy to escape after eating your fill."

  Xia Xinyan stood behind him, reached out and pinched his waist hard, then glared at him with a hateful gaze before walking out from behind Shi Yan as if nothing had happened, taking the piece of beef and immediately hiding it away, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of triumph.

  Shi Yan sneered, shaking his head with a bitter smile. "You stubborn woman, just you wait and see how I'll deal with you."

  Xiao Feng seemed to have noticed the slight movements of the two, but didn't mind, and explained: "Although Li Wei is the nephew of Li Zhuang's protector, he doesn't dare to act rashly. I know that after Li Wei was injured by you, he immediately reported it to Zuo Protector, and Zuo Protector asked me to understand the situation. As long as it wasn't your fault, Zuo Protector will protect you."

  Shi Yan's heart moved, and he immediately realized that this Yu Huofa was probably not compatible with Li Zhuang. Since he had injured Li Wei, Yu Huofa should be secretly pleased and take the opportunity to suppress Li Zhuang.

  "It's like this, Li Wei is so shameless and actually dared to make a move on my wife, I..." Shi Yan added fuel to the fire, using extremely vicious words to slander Li Wei.

  "I understand." Xiaofeng nodded and smiled, "Li Wei is indeed despicable, you said it well. I'll report to Jiu Hu Fa right away. Don't worry, Jiu Hu Fa appreciates you and will definitely protect you." With that, Xiaofeng went upstairs with a gentle pace.

  "That woman who helped us at first and told us to get on the boat, she should be Na Zha's guardian deity." Xia Xinyan suddenly said after Xiao Feng left.

  "Hmm." Shi Yan smiled, "It seems we don't have to jump into the sea to escape after all. With those two guardians fighting, and us caught in between, there's still a chance for us."

  "That woman, she must have taken a liking to you, maybe she'll even take you on as an apprentice, think it over carefully."

  "Take me as your apprentice?" Shi Yan was shocked.

  "In the yin-yang cave, both guardians and elders have the qualifications to accept apprentices. Generally, males take on female apprentices, while females take on male apprentices. The relationship between masters and apprentices in the yin-yang cave is extremely intimate, so intimate that they need to be in bed together to pass on their teachings... I know you understand." Xia Xinyan said calmly.

  "What's wrong?" Shi Yan exclaimed.

  "It's almost like that, in front of outsiders, we have the name of master and apprentice, but at night, we'll sleep together. I don't know how many apprentices that demon guardian has, you can become one of them, every month you'll be pampered for a few days, by then you'll naturally learn some secrets of yin and yang, isn't this what you've been hoping for? You should be happy instead?" Xia Xinyan said indifferently.

  "Several apprentices?" Shi Yan's face gradually sank down.

  "Some have fewer, some female protectors have dozens of apprentices, and apart from apprentices, there are all kinds of companions. Well, if they encounter friendly forces, if they take a fancy to a man, they can also undress at any time, with thousands of people holding their arms and tens of thousands of people tasting their fragrant lips, referring to the women of the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven."

  Isn't it worse than nothing?

  "No, it's different. They're just hobbies, they don't charge money for them. Understand? It's like some people like flowers and plants, some people like gold and silver jewelry... the people who do this kind of thing just enjoy doing it. They don't think there's anything wrong with it, they think it's a way for people to communicate with each other. Hmm, you'll be meeting that Hu Fa soon, and when the time comes, you'll understand." Xia Xinyan explained calmly and briefly.

  Shi Yan's face turned increasingly unsightly.

  "Knock knock knock"

  As expected, Xiao Feng quickly went and returned, standing at the stairs with a smile, beckoning to Shi Yan: "Yu Huofa has let you pass this time, saying he wants to discuss something with you. Your good fortune is here, as long as Yu Huofa recognizes you, Li Zhuang will definitely not dare to do anything to you, hurry up, Yu Huofa is already waiting for you."

  "I'm not feeling well, next time." Shi Yan covered his stomach, his face contorted in pain.

  "You must have been hurt by Li Wei too, right?" Little Feng was somewhat surprised and nodded: "Don't worry, there are many healing medicines at the Jade Guardian's place. Who knows, you might even be rewarded with one or two, and your injuries will recover quickly. This is a great opportunity, don't miss it, hurry up."

  Shi Yan still shook his head.

  "What? You're not daring now?" Xia Xinyan secretly felt pleased and calmly said: "I, as a wife, don't even mind, what are you afraid of?"

  "Go if you must" Shi Yan's face turned stern, and he suddenly darted to Xia Xinyan's side, forcefully grabbing her small hand, saying: "Come with me"

  Xia Xinyan's jade-like hands were plump and tender, soft to the touch as if boneless. Holding them in one's hand was like grasping a beautiful piece of jade, warm, smooth and slippery, very comfortable.

  Xia Xinyan's eyes were slightly panicked, she struggled hard for a moment and said in a cold voice: "Let go of me, you can go by yourself, why drag me along?"

  He grasped Shi Yan tightly, no matter how she struggled, he just wouldn't let go. He said calmly, "You stay here, I'm not at ease. Who knows if that Li Wei will come over when I'm not around? From today on, you're not allowed to leave my line of sight. Wherever I am, you have to follow."

  "Ah!" Xia Xinyan exclaimed, she was both angry and annoyed by Shi Yan's overbearing behavior, but also a little touched. Xia Xinyan looked at Shi Yan with complex emotions for several seconds, finally stopping her struggles, her neck flushing red, allowing Shi Yan to grab her small hand.

  "I can go, but she must follow me, I cannot leave her alone here." Shi Yan looked at Xiao Feng.

  "Alright." Xiaofeng reluctantly nodded and said: "When we arrive at the entrance, I will ask for instructions from Zonghufa. Let's go."

  "Uh-huh."

  Xiao Feng led the way in front, Shi Yan grasped Xia Xinyan's slender hand and followed behind with a calm expression, heading straight for the third floor of the boat.

  Xia Xinyan lowered her head, her face unchanged due to the disguise, but her neck gradually became slightly redder, feeling extremely embarrassed in her heart.

  At this moment, Shi Yan's big face quietly approached again, leaning towards her ear.

  Xia Xinyan's heart skipped a beat as she glared at him fiercely, signaling him not to mess around.

  Shi Yan didn't care about her, his big mouth leaned towards her red and tender little ear, and he whispered: "Later that woman might get angry, you pay attention to my signal, jump into the river first, I'll follow afterwards."

  "Hmm, you... be careful yourself." Xia Xinyan muttered in a low voice like a mosquito, then hastily pulled away from Shi Yan, her snow-white neck flushing with a red glow.
